Has your partner ever taken grooming too far?

I've been grooming again :o

Because the weather's been nice, i've been cycling to work. I have a full lycra cycling kit which i look great in :D the other day i noticed my legs were a little bit too hairy for my liking!

I'm not a hairy beast, cant even grow a proper beard but as i was wearing bib shorts, i thought i would trim my leg hair. I went too deep in parts and it looked patchy, so i thought sod it just shave them.

I really dont like my legs now :( they are so smooth and really white! I'm thinking of applying some fake tan to see if that improves the look, but i'm concerned i might be taking my grooming too far :o

Does anyone else's partner take grooming too far?

    Men's grooming is getting more and more like women's. Young guys are waxing, plucking, shaving, styling, deodorising, you name it.

    All quite unnecessary unless the body hair is really excessive or unattractive..

    Men should groom, no denying that. I've trimmed my leg hair before but i've never went down to skin like this before! They are that bad, i actually googled leg wigs :o

    I like hairy men. As long as they bathe/shower regularly/clean their teeth and dont stink i'm happy.

    There's plenty of men and women who would find that very attractive :D

    I'm lucky with DH , he keeps himself tidy and that's about it

    When I do his hair I clean his shoulders and back of neck. He sorts out his own nose hair:eek: and tidies up his chest hair and pubes. Would never shave it all off, just keeps it under control

    I don't. I shared a house with a hairy bloke. He was like a blummin' hobbit. He was so hairy that he could sit around naked without being indecent.

    The vacuum cleaner and drains were forever getting choked up with his moltings.
